Before Aldi's Bootle store opened this morning there were huge queues outside as customers became desperate to get their hands on their own Kevin the Carrot.

And, it looks like this was also the case across the county, as shoppers have taken to Twitter to describe the chaos at their local stores.

User @SteSharp said: "Just seen two adult nearly fighting over a Kevin the carrot in @AldiUK crazy times. Good luck to anyone trying to get one now they are pretty much sold out now. #KevinTheCarrot #aldi."

@Stuartfergus said: "Never seen anything like that before @AldiUK old people getting knocked off their feet and kids pushed out the way... grown men sprinting down aisles to try and be first for Kevin the carrot and his clan."

Aldi brought back Kevin the Carrot this year and gave him a starring role in its advert - you can watch the advert below.
